The claim
PM Modi has spent less on foreign trips than former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. Singh spent ₹1,350 crore on 72 foreign visits over 10 years, whereas Modi spent ₹258 crore on 38 visits over 11 years.
Original review summary
The review says the comparison uses mismatched time periods: Singh’s ₹1,346 crore figure covers his second term (2009–2014), while Modi’s nearly ₹259 crore figure covers May 2022 to December 2024. It also reports that Modi’s 84 trips from 2014 to 2018 cost over ₹2,000 crore, so the comparison does not use equivalent periods.[S1]
